Find Your Password within IE, Foxfire & Google Chrome

The thing about letting your browser save your password is that over time, you tend to forget it. There's a way to get your password (as well as your user name), and they are small programs that are very easy to operate. And they're free software!

PasswordFox, IE PassView and
ChromePass download as zip files. Above, see a screenshot of each program and the information it provides...IE is the least friendly, giving you an IP address rather than the name of the site. To me, ChromePass is the friendliest, giving you the create date and time.

If I used my browser to store passwords, I'd download my browser program and get a copy and store it in a safe place. I don't know how browsers are about sharing passwords like they do bookmarks, but it might enable you to transfer to another browser. I use both Firefox & Chrome, and could see how having your passwords in Internet Explorer might hinder you in trying another browser.

A good read-me file accompanies each program, with a command line listing for different formats. You can get these programs at:
